Book Synopsis Childhood Experience and Personal Destiny by : William V. Silverberg
Download or read book Childhood Experience and Personal Destiny written by William V. Silverberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This account of the genesis of personality and neurosis represents a return to the crossroads at which Freud found himself when faced with the collapse of his traumatic theory of the etiology of neurosis: a return and affirmation that Freud was sound in his first intuition that neurosis emerges from traumatic childhood experience and its specific details. But Silverberg rejects as too narrow Freud's definition--that this traumatic experience is sexual seduction by an adult--and gives in this book a broader, more comprehensive definition of childhood experience and a new working hypothesis for psychotherapy. Strength and weakness of the ego are regarded by Silverberg as roughly equivalent to mental health and mental illness respectively. He is concerned with the kind of childhood experience that favors growth or diminution of this ego strength. He stresses the ego's functions and its mode of operation as well as interpersonal relationships and environmental factors of childhood experience. Specifically, the book is about the child growing up in our culture. The experiences of early life are discussed as children usually have them in the process of being brought up by parents of our culture. Although these successive areas of individual experience have not the universal and biologic significance which Freud ascribed to the genesis of libido, they parallel, more or less, the Freudian phases. Problems of deprivation in the oral area are followed by those of obedience, conformity, rebelliousness in the disciplinary area (Freud's anal phase) and by problems of comparison, competition, and genitality in the phallic area. For each area the author investigates the typical adaptations to the difficulties encountered by the child. He offers many keenly observed examples of solutions that are "normal" as well as pathologic in our culture. He brings out the vast difference and conflict between adaptations that are biologically successful or culturally successful. He shows that all experience of childhood involves parental love and approval, and that the child is as much concerned with maintaining these as with reaching pleasure goals. Since psychopathologic patterns are the result of experiences in the life history of the child and are therefore acquired, new experience can result in new and different psychologic patterns. A person can break his formed patterns of behavior by a process that leads to new self-understanding and from there to new adaptation. In this possibility lie the problem, the task, and the hope of psychotherapy"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved)

Book Synopsis Intimate Strangers by : Andreea Deciu Ritivoi
Download or read book Intimate Strangers written by Andreea Deciu Ritivoi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and Edward Said each steered major intellectual and political schools of thought shaping American political discourse after World War II. Yet none of them was American, and this was crucial to their thinking, which relied on ways of arguing and reasoning that stand both inside and outside of the American context. In an effort to convince their audiences they were American enough, these thinkers deployed deft rhetorical strategies that made their cosmopolitanism feel acceptable, inspiring radical new approaches to longstanding problems in American politics. Speaking like natives, they also exploited their foreignness to entice listeners to embrace alternative modes of thought. Intimate Strangers unpacks this Òstranger ethos,Ó a blend of detachment and involvement that manifested in the persona of a prophet for Solzhenitsyn, an impartial observer for Arendt, a mentor for Marcuse, and a victim for Said. Despite its many successes, though, the stranger ethos did alienate audiences, and many critics continue to dismiss these thinkers not for their positions but because of their foreign point of view. This book concludes with an appeal to reject this kind of xenophobia, throwing support behind a political discourse that accounts for the ideals of both citizens and noncitizens.

Book Synopsis The Annual of Psychoanalysis, V. 25 by : Jerome A. Winer
Download or read book The Annual of Psychoanalysis, V. 25 written by Jerome A. Winer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 25 of The Annual is dedicated to the memory of Michael Franz Basch, who achieved distinction as both a psychoanalytic theorist of the first rank and an authority on the nature and conduct of dynamic psychotherapy. A wide range of original contributions bear witness to his theoretical, clinical, and educational interests. A number of papers remind us of Basch's prominence as a self-psychological theorist: Elson's self-psychological reappraisal of self-pity, dependence, and manipulation as self-states; Ornstein's developmental perspective on power, self-esteem, and destructive aggression; Tolpin's review of sexuality from the standpoint of normal self development; and Wolf's discussion of self psychology and the "aging self." Basch's life-long educational concerns gain expression in Goldberg's discussion of clinical teaching, particularly the challenge of leading of case conferences; and Ornstein's and Kay's thoughtful consideration of "enduring difficulties" in American medical education. Additional highlights of the volume include: Fawcett's consideration of the role of pharmacotherapy in psychodynamic treatment; Jaffe's consideration of the applicability of hierarchical models to assessment and intervention in brief psychotherapy; Galatzer-Levy's review of the "witch" metapsychology; Gedo's analysis of mythic themes in the operas Don Giovanni and Der Rosenkavalier; Modell's reflections on metaphor and affects; and Kernberg's discussion of a "new psychoanalytic mainstream," which he compares and contrasts with a parallel convergence of Kohutian and interpersonal analytic approaches. Many of these contributions incorporate reflections on Basch as a teacher and colleague, and the entire volume is framed by Goldberg's moving tribute. Analysts and psychotherapists sharing Basch's commitment to academic and clinical excellence and his keen awareness of the pragmatic requirements of doing effective therapy will find in Volume 25 a cornucopia of riches.

Book Synopsis Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia by : Bertram P. Karon
Download or read book Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia written by Bertram P. Karon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1981 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inevitably, every psychotherapist has some experience with severely disturbed patients. Consequently, they will turn with excitement to this important new book which is a stunning attempt by two knowledgeable, persevering psychotherapists to present their understanding and sound therapeutic approach to these difficult and challenging patients. The authors argue that the treatment of choice is clearly psychotherapy and that such treatment can be successful and as long lasting for schizophrenic patients as it is for neurotic patients, but the journey may be longer and it may take more time to traverse.The task of therapy is to untangle the past from the present to make the future conceivable. The volume provides a thorough historical overview of the theoretical and clinical approaches to the problem of schizophrenia, including the views of leading contemporary clinicians on the topic. In general, the major clinical controversies have been regarded as issues of whether to focus on past, present or future; reality or fantasy; affects; exploration or relationship; whether the therapist should be active or passive; and how to handle regression. The authors argue that these are the wrong issues. They say that the task of therapy is to untangle the past from the present to make the future conceivable. Reality and fantasy are intertwined and must both be dealt with. Affects are central to all therapy, and emphasis on anger, despair, loneliness, terror, and shame are all necessary, as is the clarification of affect, and the acceptance of positive affect. Activity versus passivity is again in the wrong question; the right one is what action is helpful, when it is helpful, and when is not doing anything helpful? Regression is inevitable; should one accept it fully or try to limit it? This has no general answer other than do what is necessary (i.e., unavoidable) or most helpful to a particular patient at a particular time.
Download or read book The Beggar Lama written by Tenzin Jinba and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beggar Lama is the story of the Gyalrong Kuzhap, a Tibetan Buddhist polymath and reincarnated lama who has led a remarkable life through the vicissitudes of the twentieth century. Born in 1930 in Tsanlha, Gyalrong, on the easternmost fringes of the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau, he would go on to become a monk, a Communist official, a professor of Tibetan studies, and a leader in the Tibetan cultural survival movement in China. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth and open-ended conversations over more than a decade, Tenzin Jinba presents the Gyalrong Kuzhap’s life story. The Beggar Lama chronicles his journeys—from Gyalrong to Lhasa, from steadfast Communist to critic of the Chinese regime, from scholar to activist—painting a compelling portrait of an influential and unconventional figure. In so doing, the book shows how the Gyalrong Kuzhap’s tale intertwines with larger social and political developments, providing a wide-ranging history of Tibet, the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, and China over the past century. The Beggar Lama shares the Gyalrong Kuzhap’s insightful and often critical views on Tibetan cultural and religious institutions, the Chinese Communist Party’s social and political agendas, Tibetan studies in China, and the prospects for Tibetan cultural rebirth. Above all, it is a story of hope in dark times, as the Gyalrong Kuzhap seeks with his “last breath” to prevent Tibetan culture and memory from vanishing.

Some of the leading practitioners, academicians, researchers, and administrators provide a “child care perspective,” writing about what they--on the front lines--perceive as the most pressing issues and significant topics in the field today, including the nature of child and youth care, current issues in education and training, therapeutic program issues, key support functions in child and youth programs, the changing work environment and new roles, and developing professionalism in the field of child and youth care. This enormously insightful book will be valuable for use in academic courses and training workshops, as well as for individual child and youth care professionals and practitioners from related disciplines.
